Showing Original Post only (View all)Missouri lt. gov.: We need ‘Anglo-American’ justice in Ferguson [View all]
Those protesters are all just "crying out" for the leadership of "anglo-american jurisprudence tradition."
Wow. just... wow.
Following Monday nights clashes with police in the wake of the death of slain teen Michael Brown, Kindler told MSNBCs Ronan Farrow that Nixon had been wrong to end the curfew in Ferguson.
I dont understand an argument for not reinstating it, he insisted. I dont understand that. Im not trying to be overtly political. I am saying, the people of Ferguson, the people of the state of Missouri are crying out for leadership.
...
Kinder said there was no question that race was playing a role in what was happening in Ferguson.
We do not do justice in America in the streets though, he argued. We have legal processes that are set in motion, that are designed after centuries of Anglo-American jurisprudence tradition, theyre designed to protect the rights and liberties of everyone involved.
...
Thats one of the great advances of Anglo-American civilization, is that that we do not have politicized trials. We let the justice system work it out.

MAYBE, but he could have left out the "Anglo-American" and it would have still been clear.

Just google "Anglo-American law". It's common parlance among lawyers and other legal types.
